Soaper heroes on hand

SOAP stars Ellie Leach, Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson clearly aren’t getting enough gritty storylines at the moment.

The three dressed up as superheroes The Incredibles while visiting Center Parcs.

As costumes go it’s a bit pants but I’ll forgive them as it’s for charrriddeee.

Other castmates from both Corrie and Emmerdale, including Nikki Sanderson, Sue Cleaver and Gaynor Faye, came together to dress up and raise money for When You Wish Upon A Star.

The charity grants the wishes of children living with life-threatening illnesses – proving Christmas shouldn’t be the only time you think of giving without receiving. DANIELLE Armstrong dramatically quit TOWIE to get away from on-off lover James Locke. But if that wasn’t a big enough kick in the teeth for him, her parting gift is to block Lockie’s numbers and social media. Mr Team Alpha told me he’s fuming, not because of her dramatic exit in the Christmas special but because she’s “mugged” him off by dating someone they both know. The unhappy Godfather of TOWIE (as he put it) said: “Dani and I are definitely over now. I’ve always said ‘never say never,’ but she’s royally mugged me off. “She imposed a rule that we weren’t allowed to date people the other one knew and that’s exactly what she’s doing. I’m happy she’s dating but I’m furious with who it is.” Lockie only discovered Dani – seen here in my exclusive shoot – was quitting TOWIE after reading my Wired exclusive last month. The fan favourite, who is also dating someone else, added: “I was shocked because she loves this show but I think it’s the best thing for both of us.” And he added: “I will always love Dani but I’m no longer in love with Dani, that ship has sailed. She will be missed though. She’s a huge character for the show.” See Dani’s exit at 10pm on ITVBe tonight and tomorrow.
